Transgenderism is a Mental Illness

[Missouri_Mike]

Wrong.
There are a number of medical conditions that can cause a woman to be born with a penis or a male to be born with a vagina.

Umm, no, that’s exactly what makes you a boy or girl. Holy fuck dude.

 

[scruffy]

One is supported by science through brainscans and decades of research, while the other is fiction.

You don't know the science.

You can't speak to it.

Best advice: don't try. Because eventually you'll encounter someone who actually knows the field.

I can assure you that bones do indeed have feeling. Ask me how I know.

Bones are actually very smart. They carry tiny electric currents that help them heal.

Living bones have small electrical potentials on their surfaces, the magnitudes of which change only slightly with the reaching of adulthood. When using a limb stresses are put on the bones inside, and these create piezo-electric potentials which may themselves cause bone growth along the lines...

Are you sure it's only democrats that do this?

It is 99% democrat. When you see the vids of drag queen story time, the only republicans there are outside protesting the groomers.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Do you have a rational argument or do you just deal in slings and arrows?

I think I made my point well.

 

[Lord Long Rod]

Wrong.

The right’s bigotry and hate directed at transgender Americans is a mental illness.

Ah, the old “I know you are but what am I?” Defense. Kudos!

The rate of occurrence of genuine gender dysmorphia is incredibly low. This causes a reasonable person to ponder why the left is attempting to normalize such a biological aberration.

The Library at Alexandria was set on fire BY the Romans.
The Romans tried to destroy all information on technology except that they could keep secret for themselves.

{...
The first person blamed for the destruction of the Library is none other than Julius Caesar himself. In 48 BC, Caesar was pursuing Pompey into Egypt when he was suddenly cut off by an Egyptian fleet at Alexandria. Greatly outnumbered and in enemy territory, Caesar ordered the ships in the harbor to be set on fire. The fire spread and destroyed the Egyptian fleet. Unfortunately, it also burned down part of the city - the area where the great Library stood.
...}

Wrong.

the library began to decline long before the Romans who never tried to destroy it

 

[Soupnazi630]

Actually is does rarely happen that women give virgin birth.
It is just the body reverting back to the old method of asexual reproduction that is what all species originally did.

There has never been a virgin birth

Humans never had any form of asexual reproduction

 

[Soupnazi630]

Wrong.
There are a number of medical conditions that can cause a woman to be born with a penis or a male to be born with a vagina.

There are no such medical conditions

 

[Soupnazi630]

NO, chromosomes do NOT at all determine sex.
Sex is determines by hormones, which the chromosomes are supposed to produce, but can be over ridden by food containing hormones, viral damage to hormone producing glands, etc.

And homosexuals are not "completely irrelevant" if they are increasing due to the over use of pesticides and herbicides, because then we are risking species extinction and need to know about it.

Chromosomes determine sex
You are an ignorant moron who knows nothing about science.

 

[scruffy]

Sigh. There's always one...

Genuine transgenders are usually shy, insecure, uncomfortable around people.

The flamboyant types... are probably uncomfortable in a different way.

Either way, it shouldn't be a political issue. Unless they're being denied rights, which they're not.

 

[Calypso Jones]

You might be asking yourself...why does the left support everything that leads to death and destruction. Why would they support transgenderism when the rest of us see the impact it has on society and it is NOT GOOD.

“Most of us have been taught that the fight for so-called ‘transgender rights’ is a bottom-up grassroots movement to protect a vulnerable sexual minority. It is not. It is a top-down, corporate-driven enterprise designed to sell products and to maximize profits, being fueled by a small handful of extremely wealthy men whose very objective is to make us all forget that biological sex, not ‘gender identity,’ is grounded in material reality. Of course, all this is happening in the context of a society that continuously, viciously, and brutally exploits female bodies.”

doesn't sufficiently answer it for me.

Every scientific organization on earth is now discovering the reality that transgender people have different brainwiring that tells them that they're of the other gender. Who to believe? You that probably didn't make it out of the 5th grade or them? Them that has centuries of knowledge and make our civilization go around? The truth is not everyone is the same and some people are different. Why not accept it?

The fact that hatred of something different or that you can't understand is something so many choose over centuries of knowledge from thousands of schools of science proofs our greatest weaknest as a species.

here are 12 studies regarding the "transgender brain"​

>A female-sized BSTc was found in male-to-female transsexuals. The size of the BSTc was not influenced by sex hormones in adulthood and was independent of sexual orientation. Our study is the first to show a female brain structure in genetically male transsexuals and supports the hypothesis that gender identity develops as a result of an interaction between the developing brain and sex hormones
A sex difference in the human brain and its relation to transsexuality - Nature
>We showed for the first time that INAH3 volume and number of neurons of male-to-female transsexual people is similar to that of control females. The female-to-male transsexual subject had an INAH3 volume and number of neurons within the male control range, even though the treatment with testosterone had been stopped three years before death.
A sex difference in the hypothalamic uncinate nucleus: relationship to gender identity - PubMed
>The absence of serotonin transporter asymmetry in the midcingulate in MtF transsexuals may be attributed to an absence of brain masculinization in this region.
Cerebral serotonin transporter asymmetry in females, males and male-to-female transsexuals measured by PET in vivo - PubMed
>FtMs showed evidence of subcortical gray matter masculinization, while MtFs showed evidence of CTh feminization. In both types of transsexuals, the differences with respect to their biological sex are located in the right hemisphere.
Cortical thickness in untreated transsexuals - PubMed
>We found that the sex difference in responsiveness to androstadienone was already present in pre-pubertal control children and thus likely developed during early perinatal development instead of during sexual maturation. Adolescent girls and boys with GD both responded remarkably like their experienced gender, thus sex-atypical.
Hypothalamic Response to the Chemo-Signal Androstadienone in Gender Dysphoric Children and Adolescents
> Results revealed thicker cortices in MTF transsexuals, both within regions of the left hemisphere (i.e., frontal and orbito-frontal cortex, central sulcus, perisylvian regions, paracentral gyrus) and right hemisphere (i.e., pre-/post-central gyrus, parietal cortex, temporal cortex, precuneus, fusiform, lingual, and orbito-frontal gyrus).
>These findings provide further evidence that brain anatomy is associated with gender identity, where measures in MTF transsexuals appear to be shifted away from gender-congruent men.
Increased Cortical Thickness in Male-to-Female Transsexualism - PubMed

> The number of neurons in the BSTc of male-to-female transsexuals was similar to that of the females (P = 0.83). In contrast, the neuron number of a female-to-male transsexual was found to be in the male range. Hormone treatment or sex hormone level variations in adulthood did not seem to have influenced BSTc neuron numbers.
>The present findings of somatostatin neuronal sex differences in the BSTc and its sex reversal in the transsexual brain clearly support the paradigm that in transsexuals sexual differentiation of the brain and genitals may go into opposite directions and point to a neurobiological basis of gender identity disorder.
Male-to-female transsexuals have female neuron numbers in a limbic nucleus - PubMed
>These data suggest a pattern of activation away from the biological sex, occupying an intermediate position with predominantly female-like features. Because our MFTRs were nonhomosexual, the results are unlikely to be an effect of sexual practice. Instead, the data implicate that transsexuality may be associated with sex-atypical physiological responses in specific hypothalamic circuits, possibly as a consequence of a variant neuronal differentiation.
Male-to-female transsexuals show sex-atypical hypothalamus activation when smelling odorous steroids - PubMed
>MTF transsexuals show a significantly larger volume of regional gray matter in the right putamen compared to men. These findings provide new evidence that transsexualism is associated with distinct cerebral pattern, which supports the assumption that brain anatomy plays a role in gender identity.
Regional gray matter variation in male-to-female transsexualism - PubMed
>When comparing MTF transsexuals with male volunteers, activation patterns similar to female volunteers being compared with male volunteers were revealed
>We revealed a cerebral activation pattern in MTF transsexuals compared with male controls similar to female controls compared with male controls during viewing of erotic stimuli, indicating a tendency of female-like cerebral processing in transsexualism.
Specific cerebral activation due to visual erotic stimuli in male-to-female transsexuals compared with male and female controls: an fMRI study - PubMed
>Our results show that the white matter microstructure pattern in untreated MtF transsexuals falls halfway between the pattern of male and female controls. The nature of these differences suggests that some fasciculi do not complete the masculinization process in MtF transsexuals during brain development.
The microstructure of white matter in male to female transsexuals before cross-sex hormonal treatment. A DTI study - PubMed
>All the genetic, postmortem, and in vivo scanning observations support the neurobiological theory about the origin of gender dysphoria, i.e., it is the sizes of brain structures, the neuron numbers, the molecular composition, functions, and connectivity of brain structures that determine our gender identity or sexual orientation. There is no evidence that one's postnatal social environment plays a crucial role in the development of gender identity or sexual orientation.

That’s been debunked: it’s just woke scientists peddling theories. It’s not provable.

According to an international group of over 100 clinicians and researchers, there is currently no biological evidence for “gender identity” and no laboratory test that can distinguish a trans-identified person from a non-trans-identified person. Despite this, the belief in “gender identity” is used as the basis for medically transitioning thousands of children and adolescents.

“The assumption of the core biological underpinning for ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender dysphoria’ remains an unproven theory: while biology likely plays a role in gender nonconformity, currently, there is no brain, blood, or other objective test that distinguishes a trans-identified from a non-trans identified persononce confounding factors such as sexual orientation are controlled for,”(emphasis original) said the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) in an article debunking false and unproven assumptions used to medically transition children.

You should stop spreading misinformation, it might cause harm to children who might believe it.

I have known quite a few trans people. Enough to form significant opinions about the nature of this mental disease. True transgenderisim is exceedingly rare. Jennifer, a beautiful transgender woman told me that in her entire life as a member of transgender associations and activist groups, she had never met another true trans like herself. They were instead, a collection of mental misfits. Some merely transvestites confused about what that was.

Today, it's a collection of social contagion and hasty misdiagnosis. Sometimes to the deep regret of the child involved. My step great granddaughter was the victim of corrupt transitioners actively transitioning a 13 year old girl, basically against her will. An offhand comment set wheels in motion impossible to stop.

This entire movement needs to be stopped dead in its tracks. No more hormones, puberty blockers or surgeries on children.

And you think you can tell everyone what “true transgender Ian” is?

Based on what? Meeting a couple trans folks?

I have several friends who are trans and none are the same.

There is no “true transgenderism” definition. At least none that you or I can point to

What a weird objective. Why? It makes less sense the motivation of an Austin Powers villain.

Because theu are still human beings no matter how few in number or what percentage of the population they represent. What you call normalizing it just means treating them with respect and dignity like every one else. You people want to relegate them to being freaks in a side show. To me you are the freaks. And you are froghtened snowflakes that are threatened by the fact that gender may not be what you despartly need to believe that it is
